SUB-OOmiTTSE.
Your tolOgram Ho. 534.
My immediataly following tolagram contains tazt of
a letter which I propose, with Your Lordship 1 s approval, to
address to the Sultan and to publish simultaneously with
announoemont of formation of Sarwat
Pasha
An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders.
1 s Ministry#
Sarwat called on mo this evoning end submitted list con
tained in my immedia'toly preceding telegram as having
definitely agreed to accept office under him on the policy
outlined in my proposed letter to the Sultan. List is a
strong and representative one and Sarwat is undoubtedly
rallying to himself all tho bost elements in the oountry#
Paragraphs one to four of my proposed letter are
designed to emphasise the more conciliatory parts of recent
letter I was instructed to address to the Sultan. Paragraph
5 comments on provisions of proposed draft treaty which have
been the .particular subject of misrepresentation. Paragraph
7 oxplains my object in dealing with Saghloul and Ms chief
supporters. After re-asserting in paragraphs 8 and 9
friendly intentions of His Majo3ty r 3 Grovernmont, I assont in
paragraphs 10 and 11 to main provisions of Sarwat r s programme.
v
Paragraph 13 reserves for subsoquont negotiation matters in
cluded in proposed draft treaty which do not find place
in Sarwat 1 s programmo with the exception of section 9; this
matter can be dealt with separately whon Egyptian government
desires to raise it, and I need only say that Sarwat
Pasha
An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders.
's
view’s on the subject are quite moderate.
Reservation A. Covers retention of troops in the
country. This is our essential and offootive safeguard:
it has formed too strength of our position in Egypt in
tno past and is in no way impaired by present proposals.
Reservation B. is designed to cover in particular clauses
6, 11 and 14 of suggested convention. Reservation C.

About this item
- Content
The file contains correspondence, memoranda, minutes, and other papers concerning the political situation in Egypt and negotiations between the British Government and an Egyptian delegation for the end of the British Protectorate in Egypt. The papers cover the effort to come to an agreement on future relations between the two parties following negotiations in the summer of 1921 and up until Britain's unilateral declaration of the end of the protectorate in February 1922.
The majority of the memoranda is written by Foreign Office officials, including the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Lord Curzon. Records of meetings of the Cabinet and a sub-committee on the Egyptian situation, and of a few high-level gatherings at 10 Downing Street, make up a substantial part of the file. There is also a large amount of correspondence between Curzon and Field Marshal Edmund Henry Hynman Allenby, High Commissioner of Egypt, on the question of Egyptian independence and events in Egypt. Other papers include printed collections relating to the Egyptian situation that were presented to Parliament.
At the back of the file is a chronological summary and a résumé of events in Egypt since the publication of the report of the Milner Mission to Egypt (folios 238-260).
